Luke Cage takes center stage in his solo series set in Harlem
We arent in Hells Kitchen anymore!
I really love the barbershop setting because it adds a bit of authenticity to the shows version of Harlem.
It turns out Pop has been to prison, too, and understands the pacing.

He feels like they ruined his life.
The only direction is forward.
Which reminds me: We should talk about Harlems villains.
Points toLuke Cagefor kind of switching up the Netflix/Marvel villain formula.
Is that suggesting that Cottonmouth is a different kind of foe?
At least in the shows first sex scene,it doesnt go fullJessica Jones.
During Lukes night with Misty, he had a nightmare and said Shades name in his sleep.
(He didnt.)
While Luke returns home to do some anxious pacing about seeing Shades, Cottonmouth meets with Shameek.
By meets with, I mean beat within an inch of his life.
(To be honest, I was quite worried about his suit, which is ruined now.)
So what did you guys think about the first episode?
It was a bit slow for my liking, but Im interested in seeing where the story goes.
